Malik said, "It is not
enough for someone to do a ghusl on the day of jumua and intend by it
the ghusl for jumua unless he does the ghusl and then sets off. That
is because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said in the hadith related by Ibn Umar, 'When you come to
jumua, do ghusl .' "
Malik said, "If someone does ghusl on
the day of jumua and intends by it the ghusl of the day of jumua and
then sets out, whether early or late, and does something which breaks
his wudu, he only has to do wudu and his ghusl remains valid for him."
Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out
stops prayer and his speaking stops conversation."
Malik said,
"I saw the people of knowledge in our city doing that. That is because
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'Whoever catches a raka of the prayer has caught the prayer.' "
Malik said, concerning some one who was in a crowd on the day of
jumua and did the ruku but was not able to go into sajda until the
imam had risen or finished his prayer, "If he is able to do the sajda
and has already done the ruku then he should do the sajda when the
people stand up. If he is unable to do thesajda until after the imam
has finished the prayer, then I prefer that he begins the prayeragain
and does the four rakas of dhuhr."
Malik said that someone who prayed a raka with the imam on
the day of jumua, then had a nosebleed and left and came back and the
imam had prayed both rakas, should complete the prayer with another
raka as long as he had not spoken.
Malik said, "If some one
has a nosebleed, or something happens to him and he has no alternative
but to leave, he does not have to ask permission of the imam if he
wants to leave on the day of jumua."
Malik
said, "Making haste in the Book of Allah is only deed and action.
Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, says 'and when he turns away, he acts
in the land' (Sura 2 ayat 205), and He, the Exalted, said, 'and as for
the one who comes to you acting with fear' (Sura 80 ayat 8), and He
said, 'then he turned his back, and acted' (Sura 79 ayat 22),and He
said, 'Your deeds are diverse' " (Sura 92 ayat 4). Malik said, "Thus
making haste which Allah mentions in His Book is not running on the
feet or exertion. It only means deed and actions."
Malik said, "If the imam gathers
people for prayer while he is travelling in a town where the jumua
prayer is not obligatory, then there is no jumua for him, nor for the
people of the town, nor for anyone else who joins them for the prayer
in congregation, and the people of the town and anyone else who is not
travelling should complete the prayer."
Malik added, "A
traveller does not have to do jumua "
Abu Hurayra continued, "I met Basra
ibn Abi Basra al-Ghiffari and he said, 'Where have you come from?' I
said, 'From at-Tur.' He said, 'If I had seen you before you left, you
would not have gone. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, "Only make a special journey to three
mosques:
Abu Hurayra
continued, "Then I met Abdullah ibn Salam and I told him that I had
sat with Kabal-Ahbar, and I mentioned what I had related to him about
the day of jumua, and told him that Kab had said, 'That is one day in
every year.' Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'Kab lied,' and I added, 'Kab
then recited the Tawrah and said, "No, it is in every jumua.'' '
Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'Kab spoke the truth. 'Then Abdullah ibn
Salam said, 'I know what time that is.' "
Abu Hurayra
continued, "I said to him, 'Let me know it - don't keep it from me.'
Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'It is the last period of time in the dayof
jumua.' "
Abu Hurayra continued, "I said, 'How can it be the
last period of time in the day of jumua, when the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "a muslim slave
standing in prayer", and that is a time when there is no prayer?'
Abdullah ibn Salam replied, 'Didn't the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever sits waiting for the
prayer is in prayer until he prays?" "'
Abu Hurayra added, "I
said, 'Of course.' He said, 'Then it is that.' "
Malik said, "The sunna with us is that the people face the imam on the
day of jumua when he intends to give the khutba, whether they are near
the qibla or elsewhere."
